Market Vandalism under Investigation

Vandals who struck HOWS Trancas Market last Wednesday evening at about 10:15 p.m. may get more attention than they expected. It is possible that the store’s surveillance equipment recorded their activities.
“We are looking at it now,” said Lt. John Benedict, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Benedict confirmed that five round concrete patio tables valued at $2000 were destroyed by the vandals.
Benedict said deputies are currently analyzing recorded material from the store’s video cameras to determine whether any of the perpetrators can be identified.
